Only rustic in the dim, wide halls
Where ghostly curtains sway.
If from their depths you should come forth to-

And, touching mouth and eyes with kisses
Could heal nay wounds and give me life and
What would dare to say?
Could dare tell thee of the weary years.
Bercft of Joy, the eyes grown dim with tears,
The fainting heart bowed down with bitter

This only could say,
Only the four fond wC~els. Il love thee still!
With all a woman lower of strength and

While lite shah last, while pulses throb and

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent,

The National drill is a thing of
the past. The competitive drills
closed on Saturday, May 28th, but
the Encampment did not break up
until the following Monday.
The judges of the drill were ex-
perienced army officers subjected by
General Sheriden, at the request of
the managing committee, on account
of their fitness for the task.
OF course there were some disap-
pointments, but the judges had a
very difficult and delicate duty to
perform. The militia organizations
which participated in this compe-
tition are among the best in the
country, and where many are excel
lent the task of deciding between
them is very hard. Where one was
perfect another was defective, and
vice versa. OF one thing the sold
iers were quite certain, and that was
that the judges would not rate them
as did the audience always, for
errors of the manual, which were
invisible from the grand stand, were
from the judges standpoint, gross
mistakes, and their decisions are
accepted without question.
Altogether the visiting military
had delightful week, and it is safe
to say the drill WAS one of the most
successful ever held in this country.
There were yicissitudes in the
weather, to be sure, naturally these
are the accomplishments Of camp
life. Rain as we'll IA sunshine, cold
as well as heat, winds aud thun der
and tightening were all necessary to
give service in the field its proper
relish. The cyclone that swept
over the tented city was a little
more than the soldiers or the man
ayers of the drill had expected, but
the latter say the drill was not a
financial failure, although they were
greatly damaged by the storms.
According to agreement, Rev. I.
Dewitt Talmage on Sunday presch-
ed at the drill ground from little
awning canopied pavilion in front

Two Balloon Stories.

In a talk with John Forepaugh last
night, says Il writer in the Philadelphia
NeUS, l heard several interesting stor-
les of adventures with hot-air balloons
I'VE used to initiate the balloons and
send them skyward at every stopping
point of the Forcpaugh show" he said,
land | remember now one incident in
regard to these balloons which occurred
in 1874 at Chester. There was a large
crowd on the grounds, and man we
called Big Smith was inside the bag
while it was being inflated. AT last the
balloon bulged out, nearly full, and
Smith crawled from under. Twenty
five men We're holding the balloon, and
Smith, afterh he got outside the machine,
saw n candy butcher named Mitchell
standing near him. Before any one
could count five Smith grabbed Mitch
ell, threw him in the basket, and yell
ed, Let GOT The men dropped the
ropes, the balloon shot aloft like rock
ct, and ten thousand people strained
their eyes as they saw it grow smaller
and smaller, until it was out of sight.
"When the balloon was first skipping
toward heaven MITCHELL head could be
seen over the edge of the basket, as he
yelled, Help, for Gods saken When
the big bag hoated beyond the range Of
vision a dozen men started northward
the way the wind carried the balloon
i'm teams They drove eight or ten
miles, and they found the balloon with
the wretched Mitchell lying helplessly
in the basket on the bank of a creek
Mitchells head had actually turned
white from fright in his hours ride in
the clouds.
"Several years after that, in another
town, Big Smith was inside another
balloon while it was being inflated.
After it was full of hot air he erawled
over the edge OF the basket and another
man got in for a trip through the ozone
belt Some one yelled, Let got The
ropes were loosened, but one rope on
the side on which Smith was getting
out. took a turn around his leg, clutch
ed him tightly, and as the balloon shot
skvwurd it took Smith with it by the
ankle. His terrified companion in the
basket. who heard the cry of horror
that swept over the crowd, could not
help him, for if he changed his position
the chances were that the basket would
upset or that the rope would uncoiL
After about ten minutes the balloon
came down with Smith unconscious
and his head full Of blood. However,
he recovered, and is yet in the show
business.

But To my snr.

of the grand stand. But to my sur.
prise at first, the military, all ex-
cept few hundred, were conspicuous
by their absence. Do not imagine
that Mr.. Talmage fell short of an
audience in consequence. He was
greeted by congregation of fifteen
thousand strong. About seven
thousand FIVE hundred people paid
a quarter TO get inside the enclosure
and sit or stand anywhere within
sound of his voice, and fully as
many more paid fifty cents for
chair on the grand stand
While the sermon was in progress
the soldiers were over at the camp
ground fixing up for the dress "a
rade which was to take place at its
close. In due time they marched
into the drill ground to the music of
their different bands, and during
the whole week more effective
scene was not witnessed than this
last dress parade. The troops were
massed in battalions across the
entire green-sward, and very skill
fully placed as regarded their vari-
GUS colored uniforms. Many of the
uniforms were striking, others brill
liant and even gorgeous, and all con
trasted well with the prevailing
green of the parade ground. The
Marine band of forty men in bright
red coats, white helmets and W hite
pants furnished the martial music
and marched from one end to the
other of the front while they were
playing as is usual in dress parades.
The Generals and other officers, in
full dress uniforms, stood at their
proper places and altogether the
picture was imposing. When the
ceremonies of the parade were over
and the troops were preparing to
leave the ground, their movements
presented brilliant spectacle which
will long be remembered by those
who witnessed it. The day was
perfect, bayonets flashed in the sun
shine. banners. and .plnmes waved,
bright colors glowed everywhere,
and to heighten the effect of the
scene, one soldier, overcome by the
heat, fell fainting on the ground,
and was carried from the field by
comrades.

Editor O'Bneu In New York.

The refusal of William O'Brien,
the Irish home.rule editor, to identify
himself with the vagaries of Henry
George and DR.. McGlynn, or with
the Labor party of New York City,
or with any other political or locel
faction, was very wise and prudent.
He recognized the fact that to join
one party, or any movement or agi-
tation in this country, separate from
the Irish question pure and simple,
would lead to complications and
make enemies on every hand.
Whatever may be thought of Mr..
O'Brien's mission to Canada, it
must be remembered that he did not
interfere in any question of Cana
dian politics or parties. His speeches
related alone to the question of
eviction in Ireland aud the methods
of those who practice the system.
In steering clear of political and
local issues in the United States he
has equally shown his discretion
and his faith to the cause that he
represents.

MILWAUKEE, Sentinel: The most
practical method yet suggested for
guarding against the immigration of
paupers, criminals and other unde-
sirable persons, is that of requiring
those who intend emigrating from
foreign countries to the United
States to go before an American
consul and obtain from him a GER
tificate of assent. BY this plan, the
consuls would be able to hold a
proper check upon immigration, and
prevent the shipment of paupers
and criminals to this country, now
frequently made with the aid or
completely of foreign governments.
Every week paupers arrive at New
York who are detected and returned
to the countries whence they came,
but large numbers of them evade
the scrutiny OF the Castle Garden
officers. 1t would be far more sim
pie, economical, and effective to
have the sorting out process carried
on upon the other side of the At.
lantic.
